1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DOCUMENTATION CONTENTS
The purpose of this Operation and Maintenance Documentation (OMD) is to present the application,
design and operation of the IGNIS 2040 fire detection and alarm control panel which constitute a
part of the fire detection and alarm system. The documentation contains necessary information on
the IGNIS 2040 control panels for designers, fitters and maintenance technicians. Together with the
User Manual IO-E339-001, intended for those who are on duty directly at the control panel, it makes
the complete operating documentation attached to the control panel and delivered to its user.
1.2 CONTROL PANEL APPLICATION
The IGNIS 2040 fire control panel is designed to:
1.
signal a fire occurrence detected by an interoperating fire warning devices (automatic and
manual),
2.
indicate a fire endangered place by identification of the alarming detection line ,
3.
actuate fire protection equipment,
4.
transmit a fire signal to proper services, e.g. Fire Brigades.
The IGNIS 2040 control panel is intended for continuous operation in premises of low dust level at
ambient temperature from - 5 °C to + 40 °C and air relative humidity up to 80 % at +40 °C.
1.3 SAFETY CONDITIONS
1.3.1 Electric shock protection
The POLON 4000 system fire control panels are ranked as the 1
st
protection class devices and can be
used only in the case of application of additional protection against electric shocks, such as zeroing or
protective grounding.
230 V/50 Hz mains supply circuits insulation is reinforced and resists 2800 V voltage test; low-voltage
circuits (below 42 V) insulation is able to resist test voltage of 700 V DC.
1.3.2 Installation and equipment safety
Wire installation should be made using conductors of the required fire resistance and should be
properly protected in passages through fire zone boundaries. In order to avoid undesirable
interaction, a required distance between the low-voltage installation and a power installation and a
lightning protection system should be maintained. From the system electromagnetic interference
immunity, it is recommended to utilise protective grounding. Reserve power supply batteries should
be connected to the panel at the final stage of the installation.
The panel components are heat sensitive. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed
+ 40 °C. The space left around the device should be big enough to secure free air flow. Air humidity in
the premises where the panel operates should not exceed 95 %.
1.3.3 Repairs and maintenance
Maintenance works and periodic inspections should be executed by skilled personnel employed by
companies authorised or trained by Polon-Alfa. Any repairs must be carried out by the manufacturer.
Polon-Alfa bears no responsibility for the operation of any apparatus being serviced or repaired by
unauthorised personnel.
